Switzerland

How to build back better from the COVID-19 crisis while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the UNECE region? The 2022 UNECE Regional Forum on Sustainable Development aims to uncover concrete policy actions to accelerate SDG progress and support efforts to build a resilient and sustainable economic recovery.

6 April - 7 April 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant setback regarding the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The 2022 Regional Forum will offer opportunities for exchange and peer learning on how to accelerate SDG progress in the context of COVID-19 in several formats, including plenary sessions, peer learning round tables, side events and preparatory consultations.

The following SDGs will be reviewed in depth:

SDG 4 – quality education and lifelong learning
SDG 5 – gender equality and empowerment of women and girls
SDG 14 – life below water: oceans, seas and marine resources
SDG 15 – life on land: terrestrial ecosystems, forests, desertification, land degradation, biodiversity
SDG 17 – partnerships for the goals
